![]() Step 4: Optional – Blocking incoming IPv6 connections So back on the Internet tab, you will likely see two DNS servers already entered, these are provided by your ISP, you can leave them how they are if you wish, or replace them with Google’s IPv4 DNS servers which are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. For this guide, I used Googles Public DNS servers however you can easily use OpenDNS’s, Tunnelbrokers or any other servers you have access to. This is important, as without it its unlikely your ever use your IPv6 addresses connecting to websites. Now it’s time to setup a DNS server which can be connected to over IPv6. Great, so now you have a tunnel setup (but not active yet until you save settings). Once done, click ‘Save’ and move onto the next step. It’s quite a maze to figure out, and took me quite a few tries to get it spot on, so I hope the picture above makes it really easy. You will notice that when copying the Server IPv6 Address, Client IPv6 Address and Router /64 that for three of the entries you will need to remove the /64 however keep it for the IPv6 Delegated Prefix. Mapping Settings to your Apple Router’s Settings Now refer to the below picture on how to copy the settings from Tunnelbroker to your Airport / Time Capsule device: On Airport Utility browse to the Internet Tab and select ‘Internet Options…’ at the bottom. Ok, keep the Tunnelbroker site open on your newly created tunnel (click into it to display it’s settings if it hasn’t already opened up) and also open up Airport Utility to edit your Router’s setting. ![]() Step 2: Setting up your Tunnel on your Apple Router Once done, click Create tunnel and you are set! However picking a server far away from your actual location will slow down your network traffic as any IPv6 traffic will go via their server adding an extra hop in your internet packets. One nice thing to note at this stage, if you pick say a North America location and are based in say Europe, you can use Netflix (which is IPv6 enabled) and use it to trick the site into thinking your in America. It may suggest one already based on your location but you are welcome to pick any of your choosing. Once you have that, you need to pick an endpoint. In which case, try googling ‘What is my IP’ or look on your router’s settings page to gain this address. It will likely be displaying it for you already underneath in the ‘You are viewing from’ however if you are using a web proxy or your ISP provides one for you it may not be your real IPv4 address. You will need to fill in your current IPv4 Endpoint. On the Create new tunnel page you will be presented with the below options: Once your account is made, select ‘Create Regular Tunnel’ on the left hand side (not the BGP option). You are required to give them an account name, email and your address to get them setup, but this is understandable as they are acting like a second ISP for you (for your IPv6 traffic!). ![]() I’ll also detail how to put up a Firewall on the router for IPv6 as well as setting up Google’s Public DNS on IPv6.īrowse to and setup an account for you use by clicking Register on the Top left. Of course, if your ISP was decent in the first place you wouldn’t need a tunnel and would have native IPv6 from them, but this is the next best method which will provide each of your devices with a unique, public IPv6 address while not affecting your current IPv4 setup. The benefit of IPv6 is great not only for gaming on Xbox One which supports IPv6 to remove NAT issues, but also for accessing the next generation of network services out of the box in a native configuration (think, no more port forwarding, no more networking issues caused by poorly built routers). This guide will take you through how to setup a IPv6 Tunnel with (but can also work with other suppliers if desired) on an Apple Router (either a Airport Express, Time Capsule or Airport Extreme). ![]()
